Olive x Cream/ Tan

[Chuckkeeper]

Hi

I have an olive egger running with a jubilee Orpington (cream/tan egg colour)

What colour eggs would offspring produce?

Thanks

More tan with maybe a slight olive tone

No way of knowing without knowing what egg genes the OE carries.
Most likely about 50% will lay a bit darker brown then the Orp. The other 50% will lay green but not was dark as what I'd consider olive.
If your OE carries two genes for blue then all will lay green but that usually isn't the case with OEs.

Thanks. That's a shame. Was hoping it'd be olive for sure.

Thank you. That's helpful
